It finished raining in nyc like over the weekend. For some odd reason my breaks sqeek. I believe its coming from the drum break. It always does this for like a week. Everytime it rains.. if I spray the drum with water(when I clean my rims) there fine. After a few hours it sqeeks again. I put the e-brake on and take it off the e-brake its fine. I step on the breaks and it doesnt sqeek. After a few times applying the break it sqeeks again. I know I dont need new breaks but can someone tell me why the hell it does that?? Its really starting to annoy me. Pleaase post any helpful info. THANKS!

 

u sure your brake shoes arent worn down to the metal?? i'd check the pads first....but to tell you the truth, i've never had drum brakes squeek on my ever, only discs....hmm...good luck, now continue your brake squeek quest my son

 

i think its coming from the drum. I recently had my brakes changed i dont see why it could be the pads themselves? Could it be something else?

 

the only thing i can see is that your brake shoe/drum clearance is too thin...in other words, your shoe is touching the drum constantly, therefore letting out a squeek...open up your drums and re-adjust your drums with the star-wheel so that you can literally spin the drum on the shoes with very little contact
